Questions from Derry
Can I have a contemporary lantern in white?
Yes, though most buyers choose grey or black because the slimmer frame is the point and dark frames disappear against the sky.
Do contemporary lanterns cost more?
Usually a little more per size than a standard range, because the bigger glass units cost more to make and handle.
How quickly can I get a roof lantern in Derry?
Stock sizes are typically ready in 5–10 working days, made-to-measure in 3–4 weeks, plus delivery. Your quote gives the date for BT47.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Derry?
With the midsummer sun about 58.4° high at noon, roof glass in Derry gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
